    New .38 mold on the way, slick sided.

    I just ordered this mold from NOE;
    HTC358-154-RF-BW5
    I put my name on Mihec's list for a bevel base, then I reloaded some flat based .38's. They worked well, I am always worried about too much flare and/or crimp. I have a Lee disc measure and powder thru expander die, it is adjusted better now.
    I am anxious to cast with the new mold and powder coat them! hc18flyer

    I have this one. It is a little heavier and it has a WFN. It casts like a dream, and it is a very accurate bullet.
    Due to the price of primers, warning shots will no longer be given!

    I have both of NOE's 160pb and 180gc grain wfn molds in a standard lube groove. The 180gc is for my 357 Max rifle and the 160pb for the .38 Special. I would be intrested in buying or trading for some of your HTC 173's, for my Max? Do you use HTC or powder coat? Tom

    I use powdercoat from Smoke. I will gladly send you some, if you pay the shipping.
